This policy tells you about the cookies Airwallex (“Airwallex”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses on our website (www.airwallex.com). By continuing to use our website without changing your settings, you consent to our use of cookies as set out in this policy.

Any changes we may make to this policy will be posted on this page. When we make changes to this policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. If changes are significant, we may choose to notify you by email or to clearly indicate on our home page that the policy has been updated.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files of letters and numbers containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your browser or device when you visit a certain web address. Cookies are then sent back to the originating web address on each subsequent visit, or to another web address that recognises that cookie. We use cookies and similar technologies in order to make the website work or to work more efficiently.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your log-in and preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have accessed or visited the website before or whether you are a new visitor or user. They can also help to ensure that advertising you see online is more relevant to you and your interests. Cookies can help us safeguard the security of our data and services and detect the cheating, hacking and fraud against our products and services. Cookies can also store ticket information, which can be used by the server to verify if the log-in is made by yourself independently. The encrypted information in the ticket can also be used to prevent a variety of types of attacks, cross-site information theft, and access with disguised identity.

There are two broad categories of cookies:

• First party cookies, served directly by us to your device.
• Third party cookies, which are served by a third party on our behalf.

Cookies can remain on your browser or device for different periods of time. Some cookies are 'session cookies', meaning that they exist only while your browser or application is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser or application. Other cookies are 'permanent cookies', meaning that they survive after your browser or application is closed. They can be used by the website to recognise your device when you visit and use the website again.

You can learn more about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

What cookies do we use?

We use the following types of cookies (which are a mix of first-party and third-party cookies):

• Necessary cookies. These cookie are essential for the operation and functioning of our website. Necessary cookies help to ensure the security of our website and services and are used for detection and prevention of fraudulent, suspicious or unauthorized activities / transactions, and for authentication purposes. Necessary cookies will always be active on your device and we do not need to ask for your consent for necessary cookies as without them we would not be able to provide the website or services requested by you.
• Functionality cookies. These cookies are used to recognise you and remember your preferences or settings when you return to our website. This enables us to provide you with a more personalised experience. For example, if you are based in the United Kingdom, we will remember this and make sure that you receive the UK homepage when you visit our website, rather than the Australia or Hong Kong homepage.
